– Do not store and use charging
equipment in locations where the
temperature is over 185°F (85°C).
– Do not place the charging equip-
ment close to a heater or other heat
source.
• Make sure the cap is closed on the
charge port when charging is finished.
If the charge port lid is closed when the
cap is open, water or foreign materials
may enter the charge port.
• Do not charge when a vehicle body
cover is in use. This may cause damage
to the charge connector.
• Do not attempt to perform a jump start
on the 12-volt battery at the same time
that the Li-ion battery is being
charged. Doing so may damage the
vehicle or charging equipment and
could cause an injury. For additional
information, refer to “Jump starting” in
the “In case of emergency” section of
this manual.
• Trickle charging is performed using the
EVSE (Electric Vehicle Supply Equip-
ment) provided with the vehicle.
NISSAN recommends using an AC 110
- 120 volt, 15A, dedicated electrical cir-
cuit and outlet. The dedicated circuit is
used to help prevent circuit damage or
the circuit breaker from tripping due to
the high draw of charging the Li-ion
battery. If the dedicated circuit is not
used, the circuit may cause adverse
interference on MCB (Moulded Circuit
Board) and household electrical appli-
ances such as televisions and audio
systems. If the circuit is shared, and
another electrical device is being used
at the same time the vehicle is charg-
ing, the breaker may trip. A licensed
professional electrician should install
a dedicated circuit if one is not already
available.
NOTE:
• When charging the Li-ion battery, place
the power switch in the OFF position.
When the power switch is in the ON posi-
tion, the Li-ion battery will not start charg-
ing.
• If the charger is connected to the vehicle
when it is in the READY to drive position,
the power switch automatically changes
to the ON position. Place the power switch
in the OFF position to begin charging.
• For your safety, if the charger is connected
to the vehicle while the power switch is in
the READY to drive position, the vehicle
will automatically switch to the ON posi-
tion. Because charging will not be started
while the power switch is in this position,
be sure to place the power switch in the
OFF position.
• When the ambient temperature is 32°F
(0°C) or less, charging time may be longer
than normal and the level to which the
Li-ion battery can be charged may be less
than at higher temperatures.
